Great quick and clean spot, good price! Got my smog check done for $65 and it took less than half an hour, tops. He's got a indoor seating room but I'd rather stand around and wait since it's fairly quick. No appointment needed. read more

Las Tunas Smog Station - Outside @teeeeeeeeeeem - Smog Check Stations Near Me - San Gabriel, California

A review recommended calling ahead for a better price, and it's worked for me. I called Wednesday around 9am. I was asked for my make and model. I drive a 2013 Toyota Prius. He said $50 special since I called ahead. I got there about an hour later, and I was fourth in line. The parking is a good size, and there is some street parking. The business is right in the corner so it's easy to spot. I waited less than an hour and was out. I'll be back in two hours when I needed another smog check. read more

This shop appears to be run by a husband-and-wife team--he handles the smog checks while she takes care of check-ins and paperwork. They also have a nice indoor waiting area. Even though there were quite a few cars ahead of me, the technician worked quickly, and my wait wasn't long at all. Parking was easy, the place felt spacious, and they even have a restroom available if you need it. Overall, a smooth and efficient experience. read more

Las Tunas Smog Station - Waiting area - Smog Check Stations Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Came on a Saturday bc was visiting the area and they open earlier than others in the area, so got there around 8:20a and there were already like 10 people ahead, and lots of cars in the lot and on the street. When you get there you just find a spot nearby to park. The owner greets you quickly and takes your keys to make sure you are in line on first come first serve/ first served basis. I waited til 9:45 for my turn, and my 12 year old car was done by 9:55a. By time I filled out the car info slip it was pretty much done. DMV transmission wasn't ready within an hour but definitely by the afternoon. Prices differ based on the car model and year - per the gentleman/owner. Newer cars can be $45, some older standard the lady was charging $58. Almost 2 hrs wait on a weekend -- so def bring a book or something to do. *** BE PREPARED TO WAIT *** since it's a very very busy shop and they have a system going fairly fast depending on the car (10-15 mins per car). If you don't like the wait then I'd def go to El Monte where it's much quicker for a few bucks more. They do have a waiting room with couches and large TV, along with 4 patio chairs out in front of the shop. They take credit cards (not checks) and thankfully DON'T CHARGE fees for credit. :) read more

Las Tunas Smog Station - Outside - Smog Check Stations Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Service is super quick and efficient--came in today around 3pm as usual, there were 5 cars ahead of me, and I was out before 4pm. It's a one man show for the smog checks, so expect somewhat of a wait...personally I think it moves by fairly quick. Make sure you call ahead so they give you a 20% discount! A 2013 Honda accord smog cost $48.90 with the discount. I honestly have not found any other smog spot that can beat this price. Even without the discount it's still cheaper than a lot of smog check places in the area. Formosa Aroma just opened up the street so if you don't want to sit and wait you can always go on a short walk to get a drink. They do have a small waiting room with AC as well. read more

Very quick service and friendly. You'll get a bit of a rushed feeling, I went on a Monday morning and it was a 1 man show. The office door was locked so you have to check in where the waiting area is at. The price is more than reasonable at $50 for my 2017 plus $8 and some change for the certificate. My only tip is to not leave and stay there and wait. I was told 30 mins, so I went for a walk thinking it'll be done when I came back. Arrived back in 45 mins and my car was not serviced. I'm sure people who came after me got skipped ahead of me. When I went back after my walk my car was never moved. 10 mins later they finally pulled my car in for service. From the time it went into the garage to being done was about 15mins. So I spent about an hour total from drop off to completion with 2 people ahead of me. Overall great but because it's a 1 man show do not leave for quick errands or walks as they might lose count of who's next and you'll lose your up. I was hoping it was a quick in and out so I tried to time it to be productive. Noz you give them your keys and sit on the outside in plain view. Don't even go into the waiting room. Sit out where they have chairs looking into the garage. read more

Las Tunas Smog Station - View from waiting room looking into the garage - Smog Check Stations Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Reasonably priced and the smog check was done within 15 minutes while I waited, even without an appointment.

Lee has gotten so busy that I can no longer pop in for a quick smog test any more. It's great that he's busy and he making a ton of money. He's had to raise his price a couple times already since the pandemic, but he's still got the best value for your buck. Be ready to park your car on the street when there's a long wait... Sometime over an hour. read more

Came here 2 hours ago at 8 AM, did a smog check, fast quick and easy. The owner got the job done and he actually gave me a discount without me asking. I didn't realize it until later. I would come back and recommend for this place. It was 49.95 + tax. read more

Lee is the man, fast quick and sufficient all by himself. He checked in with everyone and let us feel assured that he would take care of our cars. The price is fantastic around $58 included digital certificate and other fees. I notice people complained about the wife but I think it's just language barrier and this place is not a restaurant. She did her job handing out the forms to fill out and charge the cards. She's not friendly but she doesn't give attitude either. read more

We had to do smog checks for two cars this morning. Pulled up with 3 cars in front of us. It's a one man show here. Lee the owner/operator greeted us and instructed us to park in the small parking lot. He had 2 cars in the garage at a time and worked efficiently to get the smogs done. We were in and out of there within an hour. Unbelievably fast service and at a reasonable price. He gave me a discount for bringing two cars in. $45 per car. Other places are charging a lot more. Lee is very hardworking, honest, and professional. I highly recommend Las Tunas Smog Station. read more

Always a positive experience here. Even when I had to wait long. I see the owner is doing his best running back and forth taking care of everyone. Price has been consistently much better than other places I've called. Even as busy as he is, he's always nice and pleasant. read more

The guy is great but the lady was rude. She was rude on the phone and in person. She never said thank you or smile.

The owner is terrible as he is the only mechanic so the wait time is so terrible with 3-5 customers sitting and waiting hours for a smog check!! read more

Quick and pleasant service. In and out within 20 minutes. Competitively priced for smog check.

I thought I was pretty ghetto when it came to mounting and fixing things, especially when using duct tape for such purposes, but geez, these folks take that to the whole next level, especially in their waiting room. The decor and construction of the place itself is no-frills utilitarian (hey, it's a one-purpose shop after all), but the way they do their cable installations for everything provides a lot of comedic value. With that aside, we came here because we needed a smog test and these folks were the only ones within our vicinity open later on a Saturday (up until 6 PM). There were a couple of other people in line in front of us, but they serviced us past their closing time since we got in there before then. The test itself only took about 15-20 minutes. The gentleman (I think his name is Lee, who is also the owner) doing all the tests was very professional, and prices were pretty reasonable. The lady checking everyone in seemed pleasant enough, and her English speaking skills seemed limited, but at least she got the gist of what we needed done and showed us what forms we needed to fill out. Restroom is in a funny location; you access it by first going into a large, sketchy stark white empty room with only a single door leading into the restroom itself. Kind of reminded me of a Mission Impossible or James Bond movie. Restroom was reasonably clean too. Overall, would definitely be back again, at least this visit gave us another local option for smog tests. read more

Been coming to this smog station for the past 10 years with my 1999 Camry, however now he no longer will do smog on any cars older than 1999 since it uses an older machine and takes longer to do smog. Will find a new place to do my smog checks from now on. Expect to be turned away if your car is 1999 or older. read more

Las Tunas Smog Check is a fairly priced STAR Smog Check station conveniently located in San Gabriel near the Temple City border Pricing: I paid $40 (in 7/22) for the Smog Check for a 2012 Nissan Sentra, including the price of the certificate. In order to get this deal, I had to mention the $40 quote from the phone. I called 4 STAR certified Smog Check stations in the area. Three of them all quoted $40. This Smog Check station and another both required mentioning the $40 deal in order to nag the price and one did not. I chose Las Tunas Smog Check Station because I live in Arcadia and the other two were in El Monte. Service: I was quoted a 30 minute wait time on a 3 PM Tuesday afternoon without appointment. The service roughly took 30 minutes as promised. There is a spacious waiting room with AC. Parking: Parking, as most auto service businesses go, is not ideal. There are only 2 or 3 marked/dedicated spaces. I went at 3:00 PM on a Tuesday and took the last proper space. Others that came after me had to park in the handicap space or creatively elsewhere on the lot. When my car was done testing, there was not enough room on the lot to turn out. I had to reverse on to Olive St. Of course, don't let this deter you unless you are REALLY concerned about parking because parking sucks at pretty much all auto service businesses. Other: * Smog Check price includes a re-test within 30 days if you fail * Las Tunas provided a detailed printout of the inspection categories passed (ex. air injection system, catalyst, etc.) Verdict: Overall, this Smog Check station met my expectations and I would come again. The price is good, it is conveniently located near a safe neighborhood, and I liked the Smog Check test result printout with inspection categories. read more

The owner is the sweetest! I will always come back to get my smog done here. The price is great and he services each car so quickly.

It was that time for a Smog check! I happened to stumble upon here with everyone's review as I was also near by so I gave it a try. Came here around 9AM on a Saturday, and I thought I would have to wait long because I didn't make an appointment. Phew, glad there wasn't a line, just about two people ahead of me as the owner was already helping one out of the two. Park your car on the side and check in with him. He will ask what you're here for and hands you a paper to fill out and in exchange, you give him your keys. After filling out the paper, you wait on the side. There are chairs apart for waiting or can stand around to wait. Service was quick and owner was very nice. Highly recommended! read more

Lee is the best! Service so fast! I was recommended by my boss. Will only come here for service now! Thank you Lee!

The owner (Lee) works here with his wife but he works FAST and efficiently. Yes he does get busy so try to call and see when he's not too busy or else there might be a long wait. The price here is great and he's a very dependable person. The smog shop is small but he has lots of chairs and a AC room for when you're waiting. Overall a quick place to get smogged if you are in the area but make sure to come when its not busy. read more

The mechanic guy was working extremely fast and trying to organize the car in order of first come first serve. However, the lady who does the receipt is kinda rude.

So glad to have found Las Tunas Smog Station on Yelp!! I waited until the very last minute to renew my car registration and didn't realize that I also needed a smog check; on Christmas Eve! I called the shop around 4:15pm and Lee was there waiting patiently as I pulled in around 15 minutes later and wow!! Best smog check experience I've ever had. He was done in about 15-20 minutes and I think I paid $57/$58(?) which is actually really reasonable considering how fast everything was! read more

Great quick service, in and out! He works as fast as one can and got me the papers that I needed.

Called Lee at 810am and he said I could bring my car in for a smog check with no wait. I arrived at 850am and he took my car in right away. Whole process took about 10 minutes. Lee was friendly and provided quick service. The place was also big, clean, and nice. They provide about 5 chairs for you to wait. Would highly recommend! read more
